This is a poster submission presented at the 2022 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. Between 1941-1945, 87 ships were lost off North Carolina's coast; two-thirds of these were sunk by German U-boats. This record earned the area the nickname of “Torpedo Junction”. Many of these wrecks have been found; others remain lost. This poster will examine the possibility of relocating one of these missing wrecks, the oil tanker William Rockefeller. When it was sunk, Rockefeller...

This is an abstract from the session entitled "Critical Archaeologies of Whiteness", at the 2024 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. Hatteras island, on North Carolina Outer Banks is well known as the likely destination of the 1587 English Colonists when they abandoned their settlement on Roanoke island. Our archaeological investigations at the Cape Creek site since 2012 have located a sequence from the 16th-early18th c. which maps the integration of the English...

This is an abstract from the session entitled "Paper / Report Submission (General Sessions)", at the 2024 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. This study seeks to expand the potential of information gleaned from tool marks on shipwreck timbers using the excavated remains of Blackbeard’s ship, Queen Anne’s Revenge (ex La Concorde, c.1710-1718), as a case study. The approach attempts to utilize the complementary strengths of three different techniques: Reflectance...

This is an abstract from the session entitled "Landscapes Above and Below in Southern Contexts (General Sessions)" , at the 2021 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. In 1849, the North Carolina legislature appropriated $25,000 to build a series of locks and dams along the Tar River to improve navigation through the shoals of the shallow inland waterway. These developments were intended to increase the transport of cotton, naval stores, and timber to the coast by making...

This project sought to develop a non-invasive means to identify the locations of prehistoric and historic human burials using geophysical and soil chemistry. With field investigations conducted at rockshelters, open air sites, and historic cemeteries, geophysical investigations were very effective in identifying burials and other cultural features at all site types. Chemical analysis of the soil to verify burial locations appears to hold greatest promise in historic burials.

A single soil sample from the Eden House Site (31BR32) on the North Carolina Coastal Plain was examined for pollen and phytoliths. Between the 1670s and 1740s this area was a plantation owned by families of European extraction, probably all English. The soil sample was collected from a root cellar in what was probably a quarter for enslaved African Americans. Evidence for cultivated food crops was sought in the pollen and phytolith records.

The inventory and analysis of the vertebrate faunal remains recovered from Kendal Plantation provides an opportunity to examine subsistence patterns associated with North Carolina plantation owners and slaves. Research questions for this project focus on animal domestication and exploitation practices that can assist in identifying differences in subsistence patterns and wealth and status in the greater Antebellum South. Likewise, comparisons of the faunal assemblages recovered from the...

This 2007 Desk Guide is a starting point for identifying the proper tribe(s) to contact. Initiating formal, government-to-government consultation would typically follow. The Desk Guide contains basic information on both the military installations and the tribes located in the South and Eastern Regions so that this same information is readily available for the tribal governments and their staff. Tribal staff may need to contact a military installation in a region or state which is part of their...
